Vapotherm, Inc. (NYSE: VAPO), a global medical technology
company focused on the development and commercialization of its
proprietary Vapotherm high velocity therapy® products, which are
used to treat patients of all ages suffering from respiratory
distress, today announced the online publication of “Validation of
Human Upper Computational Fluid Dynamics Model for Turbulent
Mixing” in the Journal of Fluid Dynamics. The full article will be
published in the December issue of J. Fluids Engineering.
Computational fluid dynamics uses advanced computer algorithms to
understand gas flow characteristics in changing and complex
systems.
This work validates findings presented at the 8th Thermal Fluids
Engineering Conference in March 2023 in the presentation titled
“Cannula Oxygen Therapy.” Researchers utilized computational fluid
dynamics to evaluate and describe the impact of cannula design on
air flow and gas exchange in the upper airway. Vapotherm’s unique
small bore design generates higher gas velocity distinguishing it
from other forms of high flow cannulas. The modeling confirmed that
the higher velocity generated by the Vapotherm design results in
improved CO2 flush compared to other cannulas. This finding
correlates with the known clinical benefits of Vapotherm’s High
Velocity Nasal Insufflation (HVNI) therapy and is especially
significant for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and asthma. It is also important for patients who may not
breathe with optimal efficiency such as those who are sedated for
some medical procedures.

“This reaffirms that not all high flow devices are the same and
shows the value of high velocity therapy for clearance of CO2 and
flush of the upper airway,” said Brian Lawrence, Chief Technology
Officer at Vapotherm.
Dr. Jessica Whittle, Chief Medical Officer at Vapotherm said,
“research like this helps clinicians stop and rethink their
understanding of ventilation and to consider using high velocity
therapy as a first line treatment for patients needing more than
traditional oxygen.”
About Vapotherm
Vapotherm, Inc. (NYSE: VAPO) is a publicly traded developer and
manufacturer of advanced respiratory technology based in Exeter,
New Hampshire, USA. The Company develops innovative, comfortable,
non-invasive technologies for respiratory support of patients with
chronic or acute breathing disorders. Over 4.0 million patients
have been treated with the use of Vapotherm high velocity therapy®
systems. For more information, visit www.vapotherm.com. Vapotherm
high velocity therapy is mask-free non-invasive respiratory support
and is a front-line tool for relieving respiratory
distress—including hypercapnia, hypoxemia, and dyspnea. It allows
for the fast, safe treatment of undifferentiated respiratory
distress with one tool. The HVT 2.0 and Precision Flow systems’
mask-free interface delivers optimally conditioned breathing gases,
making it comfortable for patients and reducing the risks and care
complexities associated with mask therapies. While being treated,
patients can talk, eat, drink and take oral medication.
